Flight Simulators - Add your own screenshots

Some updates. I uninstalled FSX and reinstalled it outside of my Programs folder. Seemed to work fine, but pressing Y or Ctrl+S still didn't work. I also did a registry cleaning, but I think that caused some problems as afterwards my Start/Windows button in the corner didn't work, nor did the Windows key on my keyboard, nor did the search box beside the Start button. Last night I restored to an earlier date and now my buttons and search box are working again. Also installed the ENB Series graphics mod, seems to be working but I don't notice any Earth-shattering differences. Everything seems to be working fine at the moment, other than Y and Ctrl+S.

I do have a question about descending and controlling speed. I was doing a flight last night and encountered a common scenario, my co-pilot says "Descend to 12,000 ft." (from 19,000), then a minute later says "Reduce speed to 180 kts." (from 240). Obviously, while descending my speed is increasing, even though I have the throttle at idle. If I try to descend gradually to avoid picking up too much speed I end up overshooting my mark, if I descend quickly I pick up even more speed and then struggle to get whoa'd up. How do you guys manage to descend without losing speed or overshooting your mark?

I was gonna ask how the weekend went, guess I forgot to ask.

Just about all jets have spoilers/air brakes above the wings to decrease lift/speed. In cases where you have to descend and drop speed like you are, you can pull out the spoilers with "/" and arm them for landing with "SHIFT+/".

You have to drop 60 knots, while also descending 7,000 feet. I'm not sure what mission this is, so I don't know how far that leg is to give you what your vertical speed needs to be (I'm estimating in the area of 1,800).

Another thing you can do is pop out the flaps to flaps 2, however, you need to be under 240kts for that to happen. I can't remember maximum extension for flaps 5 off the top of my head, but I think it's 220 kts. Keep extending flaps if you're beginning approach until flaps 10.

Funny thing with that picture is that you're also climbing... lol

That was just a random picture and it was hard to keep it level while holding/looking at the camera (I haven't learned autopilot yet). :) With the speed/altitude numbers I gave, they may not have been exact, mainly just to illustrate a common occurrence. I did not know about the spoilers/air brakes, I'm sure those will help a lot. I've tried using the flaps but learned that if you're above a certain speed or below a certain throttle level it makes alarms and buzzers and flashing lights happen, so I've been using them sparingly as I don't like to anger the alarms. :nervous:

I think I messed up a bit in how I'm going about learning. I remember when I played years ago there were lots of tutorials that explained all the little things. I started doing the missions and the first few teach you lots of things but after that it just presumes you already know stuff. I think I need to go into the Learning Center to find the tutorials that will teach me all this stuff? Y and Ctrl+S still don't work for some reason, I've just been using the exterior view that you can pan around to get a glimpse of the surroundings.

Just below the gear handle there's a gauge showing the flaps, and with white lines pointing to each degree of flaps is a number. That is max flap extension speed...

So that's the reasoning why you hear the alarms, you're over max speed for flap extension.

And this is extremely odd that the slew mode or top down still wont work... Not sure what to do with that to be honest. Maybe if you go and click on views on the top screen to top down and hit it after leaving...

I find it very difficult to read anything on the dash unless I'm really zoomed in, but I will look for those max speed numbers next time.

There have been times where I was under the max speed and the alarms still sounded, possibly because my throttle was at idle (in an attempt to reduce speed). I found that adding a bit of throttle would make the alarms go back to sleep, but of course this added more speed.

What do you mean by "click on views on the top screen to top down and hit it after leaving"?

If the task bar up top (should say option, views, help, addon manager etc...) isn't there, it ALT and then go to views, and then top down view. Then try to press CTRL+S to see if you can get out of the view... Otherwise something has gone amiss..

@BrandonW77 You'll love it when you purchase a payware heavy jet...

You can set the AP to fly all night and wake up right at the top of descent... I've been on GTP more than I have in the cockpit now.

Can't say I've ever had the desire for a video game I can play while I'm asleep. :lol: With my luck it would get hijacked while I was sleeping and I'd wake up somewhere in the jungles of Libya. :irked: Although, going back to the lounge for a smoke and a couple fingers of Scotch with the stewardesses while the AP handles things for a little while is appealing. :sly:

What would make a payware jet better than the jets that come with the game? So far the big jets don't excite me a whole lot. Much like with cars, I prefer the older, simpler planes that require control from the pilot and aren't all automated (and have a secret desire to kill you at any given moment). I like the big automated jets ok, but so far I have more fun with the little crop-dusters and puddle-jumpers. I'm most looking forward to the Air Race planes and fighter jets. At this point, if I were to pay for any planes it would be something like an A10 Warthog (have been in love with those since I was a small kid when they used to fly over my house) or the F14 Tomcat (another childhood favorite). Would love to have a go with a SR-71 too if that one's available anywhere. I'll probably pay for a graphics mod that adds better terrain, but it will probably be quite a while before I pay for any planes (most of my sim money goes towards racing and there's more than enough planes with the stock content to keep me entertained for some time).

To be honest, sounds like you'd have more fun in DCS world instead if you want activity.

However.... General aviation also seems down your alley. My favorite is the King Air Beechcraft C90B, made by Carenado. All operating switches, fantastically modeled, and sounds amazing.

Or there's the Socota TBM850 (made by Carenado too) which has a full glass cockpit as well. I think you'd prefer something like this a bit more than the Beehcraft, just because it is only a single engine aircraft.

Cool thing with the TBM850 is that it has an all glass cockpit (meaning no analogue gauges), and even better, there's a youtuber who flies them as a primary job and does vlogs ALL THE TIME.
Here's his channel... I've watched almost all of his videos in the last three days.

General aviation is more fun when on VATSIM, as you're interacting with a lot of people from around the world. Anyways, flying GA is sorta something that you don't just start doing, you gotta love doing it. I like the aspect of flying around to small airports near me, and then go fly to them IRL doing just about the same thing I did in the simulator.
I also like flying around the world to some of my favorite places, such as Dubai, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, and a few others, just because of the diversity there, traffic patterns, and the approaches that fly over the cities.

You can't quite do that with a GA aircraft, but you could via planning it all out. A fun flight I think I'm gonna do soon is from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas, or something like that in my Beechcraft.

Maybe next Monday or Tuesday night, (or until we get it set up) me and you could do that flight together on VATSIM. The default Cessna 208 Grand Caravan can easily do the trip, and that would be a good indication if you'd want to splurge into the turboprop world.

I dunno, there's so much to do with GA, it's crazy. I don't like small jets, as it's go big or go home, but it seems like there's boat loads of turboprops out there which are just fabulous.


Just let me know when you want to go online, and then it becomes a party in this thread...
 
Yes, I like the GA stuff quite a bit, all the details and planning and paying attention. It's a bit over my head at the moment, but there's a lot to learn and read about and I like that. But I also like to start small and get a good grasp of the basics first. Don't get me wrong, the big jets are fun in their own way, I'm just focusing on the simpler fundamental stuff right now so I'll be better prepared for the heavy jets.

I have DCS and have played with it a little, but there's so much to learn and I feel like the slower paced FSX environment is a good place to learn the basics first. And the commuter flying is nice and relaxed which is a nice change of pace from the racing I'm used to. I feel a little overwhelmed by it all right now but it's all starting to click little by little.

I'd be up for an online journey soon. Do I need to install/modify anything to be able to do that or should everything be good to go?
 
Yup... Here's what ya need:
Read a little of this until you understand the overall concept

Then, download vPilot from the green box:
http://vpilot.metacraft.com/Download.aspx

After that, you'll have to set up vPilot to your preferences (I use squawkbox b/c I'm still on FS9, so I can't use vPilot)

After that, you simply file a flight plan. In squawkbox you can file one from within the application, but you can also file one online here

vatsim_prefile.png


A. The Callsign you wish to use

B. The aircraft type and equipment code

C. The true airspeed in knots

D. The four letter ICAO code for the airport you are departing from

E. The proposed departure time in UTC (must be within two hours) as four whole numbers, i.e. 0130, 1230, 2045 etc.

F. Your planned cruise altitude (can be in the format of F370, FL370, 37000)

G. Your planned route (or waypoints if you don't know the airways). Note: That in the USA and some parts of the world, the anticipated SID and STAR are filed with the route. Check your local Division, vACC or ARTCC website for more information.

H. The four letter ICAO code for the airport you are landing at

I. The estimated time your flight will take in hours and minutes. (If minutes only, enter 0 in the hours field).

J. Check the radio button that lets controllers know what your voice capabilities are

K. Remarks for your flightplan. (see above)

L. How long your aircraft will be able to fly with the fuel you have loaded (in hours and minutes).

M. The four letter ICAO code for an alternate airport for your landing if your landing airport is unavailable due to weather etc.

N. Your First and Last Name and the four letter ICAO code for the airport nearest to your home city.

O. Your VATSIM ID Number

P. Your VATSIM Password

After you file the flight plan, if ATC is in the area you contact them. I'll explain more later on what to say to them and when.

It's super easy, just don't over think it. As a matter of fact, I'll also use my C208 and I can guide you step by step when we fly.

If you don't have a mic set up, that's not a problem (I don't so it's not like we're going to be talking much), we can use the text features to talk to ATC, and also private message between each other.


EDIT:

If you wanna do this, I'll do all the reading this weekend so I can teach you the operating instructions for a C208, and we'll be gold.


EDIT 2:
Well, I went ahead and tried out a route in my Beechcraft from Fort Lauderdale Exec to Staniel Cay in the Bahamas, worked out good on GPS...

Maybe tomorrow or so I'll try doing it in the default Caravan. Only problem is that's gonna be around a 15 minute longer flight.

@Swagger897 I'll send you a PM so we don't clutter up the thread.

On a different topic, I started the training missions last night. The first one was about straight and level flight and attempted to teach me how to use the trim wheel. Problem is, I could not find the trim wheel anywhere! I know what it should look like, but I couldn't find it on this plane. Could anyone point out the trim wheel for me? He said it was right below the Heading gauge and has +/- buttons beside it. :confused:

Soooooo..... I bought another plane..

View attachment 474840

What is it?

I think I finally have X-Plane running well enough to do a flight through Europe :dopey: One of the included aircraft in xplane is the Beechcraft Baron 58, thinking of going with that one. Starting at Rotterdam, my home city and then going south towards Italy or something. Not sure how to plan this. Need to know how long I can fly with a full fuel load.

Carenado Cessna 208B. I love it. Sounds are great, and the start up is much better than it is with the default one.
 
So I'm looking at what flight I should do tonight while I sleep, and I saw Delta used to do Los Angeles to London Heathrow, and the 767 is rated to do that. So I go looking for scenery that I want to use and I found a free version of UK2000 for EGLL(which I'll buy tomorrow) and a demo mode from Cloud 9 for KLAX. So I download UK2000, and everything looks good. Go to download Cld9 and it seems like it's a timed demo.

So after I download both I shutdown FS and go to Simbrief to plan my route and calculate fuel and what not.... Do all that NAT oceanic stuff too and get my weather charts... the whole nine yards FOR FREE (I love simbrief...)

I come back, start up at whatever gate Delta uses at LAX, and turn on Sqwkbox to connect to VATSIM. I knew LAX ground controller was online, so I asked him how much longer and he said enough to get me out into the sky. So at that point I was quite happy, as that's all I wanted to takeoff in controlled airspace, disconnect from VATSIM, go to bed, and wake up just before descending into London.

I 🤬 you not, no later than 4 seconds after I asked did the timed demo make all the scenery dissappear. I was like WTF!! :banghead::grumpy: .....


So I get on my ACARS program which lets me talk to other pilots in my airline, and ask them if it really is that short of a demo and they all agreed.... So, tomorrow (provided it's AES compatible and has enough tickets for it (tomorrow is gonna get expensive real fast...) I'll buy it and do the flight some other time...

The one night where all I had to do was manually take off, do a 180 towards the UK, and just let the AP land after getting up 10 hours later, and I have no scenery to taxi to the runway at all.... Like, what the heck man..
 
@Swagger897 , you let your plane land on the AP? Can you tell me how this progress goes? And what about landing on VOR, I understand this is the preferred way of flying a jet? I'm reading into VOR, DME and NDB but it is a little overwhelming. Probably because I do not understand the instruments fully.
 
Depends on the aircraft.

There are two key things to know when you want a plane to do an autoland. One is the frequency for the ILS, and the other is the course of the runway. On a radio stack panel, you have to enter the radio frequency under the NAV box and tune the course in to the course box.

If you got that done then comes the flying part. When your on base for the runway, you have to press the loc button, or localizer. The localizer guides you to the correct course to the runway. Then, once you get to the glideslope intercept, you press the app button, or approach. This takes care of the plane all the way down to the runway, and into rollout.

Now, to find the course and frequency, just go to maps and find the airport you want to land at that is ILS landing capable, Schiphol is one for example. Click on the airport and you'll find information about it.

I can try in a few minutes to set up my 747 (much more advanced than the default) but you should be able to get it too.
 
So here I am at Amsterdam, on 18C. For that runway, the course needs to be 184, and the frequency is 109.50 (at least in FS9).

Screenshot 2015-11-16 10.49.45.png


You can see just under the communication radio, is the Nav radio. Put 109.50 in the standby, then transfer it over. There's another navigation radio on the other side of the transponder, and you need to enter 109.50 in there too.

Then on the MCP, put the course 184 in both of the course boxes.

You should have something like this on approach.
Screenshot 2015-11-16 11.03.10.png


It's hard to see, but it's the best I got...

On the MCP, on each edge there's a box for the course, enter that in those places. Then, after turning to final, I had my localizer engaged (you can see it in green just to the left of the 2,000).

Now I was a bit low, but this is only for demonstration. I think 18C has an intercept of 2,000 feet, but anything under that (I did 1,000) will work. On the attitude indicator on the left (the far left LCD) you see the speed tape, attitude indicator, and on the right is the altitude tape. Just to the left of the altitude indicator is your glideslope. The pink dot you see almost halfway is the glide slope, and the white line just under it is you, the plane. When the diamond drops even with the white line, you engage APP, or approach. Then, the plane should go all the way down.

After I engage approach, I normally drop my gear, and all the flaps, make sure speedbrakes are armed, and autobrakes are set.
 
So 184 is the radial from where you are to the airport beacon, and ILS is in your case 109.50? Or do you intercept a certain radial (184) that lines up to the runway, and is that your turn to final? The glide slope shows automatically when I'm close enough with the correct frequency?

Thanks very much 👍
 
edit:

Okay, so here's 18C. These charts come from Lufthansa, but have to be marked for simulator purposes. Why, idk..

So basically, it hasn't changed much, other than the course. Amsterdam is a bit complicated to fly into, or just have some fun with, but we'll skip some of the stuff here and just get too it.

Assuming you have a good understanding of charts, you can see the radial to the runway, 183, and on the top right is the frequency to tune (109.5 so it still stands). More text below...
IMG_2953.PNG


So on the bottom of the chart, you have two vertical profiles for the glide slope. You can either start at 3,000, or just for a pattern flight, 2,000 is suitable for AMS.

Anyways, say you're on left base, or heading 273. You'll want to have 183 entered into the course boxes, and 109.5 in the NAV frequency. If you're perpendicular to the 183 radial, then go ahead and select LOC on the MCP. Then, after you begin the turn, you monitor the diamond until it drops.

At 2,000 at 6.2 miles to the field, the diamond should be even-steve. Here you hit APP, and the plane will descend and perform the autoland.

Procedures vary per aircraft, but all you need is course, frequency, and the ability to select loc/app.

Cool thanks mate. Those charts are nice I should get more of those. I'll check if they're the same for x-plane. A nice plane to try it in would be nice too.. The Beechcraft isn't so much fun, after some flying in it I want something bit more advanced. Flying low and not so fast is okay but I do that all the time in DCS, A-10/Huey. It's more for visual flying...

The stock x-plane 747 is nicely modeled but very big and I would like to fly in and around Europe, 747 is a bit overkill for that. Maybe now and then I want to cross the ocean but thinking about it, I would like to do Europe routes more.. Most likely flights that are 3 hours or shorter. Boeing 737 would be nice but they only have the old 732 version in the official X-Plane webshop. They do have the A320 NEO, but that one isn't operated by KLM :P They also have the 757 and 777, 787, A330 and A350 but those are not really suitable for short flights am I right? Should I go with the A320 NEO? I like the idea to be able to land at some small airports in exotic regions.. The A320 NEO by JARdesign is the same level as PMDG do with their Boeing models. Here is a good review of the model. The 787 comes to mind a lot lately after seeing KLM's new 787-9. Got to say, it's beautiful but not as nicely modeled like the JARdesign A320 NEO..

What should I do :confused: Take a look at what they offer http://store.x-plane.org/

The 757 pretty much is the best short haul aircraft ever, but does medium routes too, and can cross the Atlantic.

It says officially licensed, so that's a good thing... I'll have to read on that a bit more as it's quite pricey being licensed..

A320 can go the distance, but it's not a pond jumper, so no US visits from Heathrow or elsewhere. A330 would be my second vote. It's meant for long haul, but honestly, I was thinking of the 767 for you. It can do routes just like 757, plus 2,000 nm more, has good systems, etc. but too bad it's not there.

I thought you had the A350, which that's meant for super long hauls.

First thing first I'd look at is do I need to stay awake the whole flight to change stuff in the autopilot? I like doing international flights from Seattle to Hong Kong a lot, but I'm not staying up that long however. I make sure the route is planned in, and hit the bed.

If the A350 can do that, then you good with long hauls. The A320 is a really popular aircraft however, and well suited for 3 hour flights. But if your looking for KLM aircraft, I'd pick the 747, as you can't beat it. Asia is phasing theirs out, by doing super short hauls, but it can definetly go the distance.

777 is just like any other tube liner but with massive engines, so meh.


From top to bottom of my numbered choices, it would be:
747-A330 tie
757
A320
787 (pics just didn't look good inside)
777

A good top four picks. Just go off of systems featured, quality interior and exterior, price, and preference. That's all I got.

Hmm okay okay. I would like to go to the US but if I go I'll probably stay for a while and do short hauls there. So A320 off the list then... 747 is a beautiful plane but I just feel weird about doing short hauls with a 747.

The A350 was freeware, it really looked like it too :P From the outside it was okay but interior was bad. Some MFD were just static pictures and it lacked systems. The payware one is gorgeous looking and made by the same people who made the 757, but doesn't include good documentation either..

I guess it's the A330 vs the 757. Why did you put the 757 under the A330? What is better about the A330 in your opinion? I was shocked to read the A330 comes without any manual so I have to look up the real ones... :shocked: Some reviewers say the FCOM is pretty hard to learn/work with, even weirder their A320 does have FCOM manual but we scrapped that one of the list.

The FlightFactor 757 seems to have excellent documentation, even tutorials.
The Procedures tab or non-normal menu comes with two options: TUTORIAL and AMPLIFIED. If you click on TUTORIAL, two sub tutorials appear: power-up and quick start-up. For those who aren’t familiar with Boeing aircraft or new to this 757 Professional, this is really an interesting interactive tutorial. It's actually a tutorial that writes on the popup window which steps need to be taken, but at the same time, you’re guided to the respective panel and, indicated with a red circle, what you need to do. When you’ve accomplished the step as indicated on the pop up window, this action turns that item green and then what action needs to be performed. In other words, there’s no tutorial Acrobat file included and there’s no YouTube movie yet, such as we saw with the 777 Worldliner, but an interactive tutorial in the simulator itself. Well-done!

Why did you put the 757 under the A330?
I dunno. It's not meant for long hauls like the A330 is, but it can still do them.


The 747-A330 was purely for long haul stuff if you were remotely considering that. I really don't like it that much, but it was a fair comparison.

TBH, I'd get the 757. It's super easy to learn how to fly, and it was the first payware aircraft I bought for FS9 too. I'll look at some youtube videos at lunch and see its systems and whether or not it's any good...

Cool :) Guess I'm going with the 757 then. Going to watch some videos myself and maybe buy it later today. Now watching this one, watch from 9:07 :lol:
